A monolinear, slab-serifed design with firm verticals and broad, flat feet that read as mechanically stamped. The outlines show subtle irregularity—slightly softened corners, uneven inking, and faint wobble—giving the strokes a lightly worn, printed texture rather than crisp vector geometry. Counters are open and straightforward, with compact joins and sturdy horizontals that maintain an even, steady color across lines. Overall spacing and proportions emphasize a consistent, gridlike rhythm suitable for aligned text.
Well-suited to work that benefits from a typewritten voice: scripts, forms, captions, labels, and packaging copy where an analog or archival impression is desired. It can also support editorial pull quotes and small blocks of display text when you want a mechanical, printed texture without heavy distress.
The font evokes an analog, typewritten feel with a utilitarian, archival tone. Its mild roughness suggests paper, ribbon, and impact printing, lending authenticity and a hands-on, documentary character. The mood is practical and matter-of-fact, with a subtle vintage patina rather than overt decoration.
The design appears intended to recreate the visual cadence of impact type on paper—stable, evenly weighted strokes paired with slight imperfections that mimic ink spread and mechanical wear. It prioritizes predictable alignment and a consistent texture, aiming for credible typewriter authenticity in both short and extended settings.
Letterforms retain a classic typewriter silhouette, with small slab serifs and slightly ink-trapped-looking corners that help preserve clarity in dense text. Figures match the same stamped construction, keeping a consistent texture and presence alongside capitals and lowercase.
